Dental malpractice is more common than many realize. It occurs when a dentist, dental hygienist, periodontist, orthodontist, oral surgeon, or endodontist fails to deliver the standard of care expected of their profession. Dental care providers are considered medical professionals and so are open to the same liability for malpractice as a doctor or nurse. If you suffered from a botched procedure or were misdiagnosed at your dental office, you may have grounds to pursue a malpractice claim against them. Our Dallas, TX, dental negligence lawyer can advise you of your options under Texas law. Kelso Law takes malpractice claims seriously, seeking full and fair compensation for your losses and pain. Please call us today to discuss your claim.
Dental Negligence Lawyer Dallas, TX
If you have persistent pain after a dental procedure (long after the treatment site should be healed) or if your oral care provider fails to properly address the concern, then you may have suffered malpractice. Dentists are people, too, and they can make mistakes. Misdiagnosis is another mistake that can reach the level of malpractice. Failure to properly diagnose the source or type of dental complaint you have can leave you in chronic pain, but thereās another danger many people are unaware of. Infections in your mouth, teeth, and gums can quickly spread to the brain, causing dangerous, even deadly, harm. If an abscess is overlooked, it could have serious health consequences.
Our Dallas dental negligence lawyer can help you secure compensation if youāre suffering from chronic pain after a procedure, numbness or loss of feeling and sensation, or improperly performed oral surgery. We also represent victims of misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis. Delayed diagnosis can lead to complications that endanger your health, while a misdiagnosis may subject you to unnecessary, painful, and invasive procedures. Both types of misdiagnosis fall under the malpractice umbrella.
Our firm has extensive resources to pursue cases of dental malpractice. We work with medical professionals and oral care specialists who can testify to the standard of care expected of dentists and explain to a jury the specific ways in which your treatment failed to meet the professionally accepted standard. Weāre committed to achieving the best outcome for your case, whether itās at trial or through settlement negotiations.
